Well I have been waiting for the 33s since my 32s crapped out and rudely learned that they were no longer available. I have been using a TI30Xa in it's place and while it gets the job done, it is not an RPN hp. When I graduated college, I traded my 48G to a young fellow who really showed a lot of promise, but had no $$$. The trade was pretty much even for his 32s. I wanted a RPN calculator that would fit into my shirt pocket.
I am now getting ready to order one of these new 33s calcaluators and am mulling some thoughts.
In as much as HP (and others) seem to find a way to discontinue great products, like the 32s and I am sure the 33s someday, should I buy about 10 or more of the 33s calculators to A. last me until I retire and B. to finance my retirement via ebay! If in about 20 years (I'm revealing my age) when I retire, how much more on ebay will an unopened 33s bring vs the prices we are seeing for a 32s today.
Take care,
Bill
